HP ProLiant DL380 G5 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon X5460 28GB No HDD Enterprise | Wty
HP ProLiant DL380 G5 — Dual-CPU 2U Rack Server
The HP ProLiant DL380 G5 is a proven enterprise 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon X5460 quad-core processors (3.16 GHz, 12 MB cache each — 8 cores total) and 28 GB DDR2 ECC RAM. Sold without hard drives, it supports up to 8 × 2.5″ SAS hot-plug drives and features HP iLO2 remote management and four onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports. Backed by a full 12-month Reboot IT warranty, this certified refurbished server delivers reliable enterprise performance at exceptional value.
Key Benefits
- Dual Xeon X5460 performance: 8 physical cores at 3.16 GHz each deliver strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation, databases, and application hosting
- 28 GB ECC RAM: Large memory capacity with DDR2 ECC error correction ensures data integrity and supports multiple concurrent virtual machines
- Hot-plug drive bays: Up to 8 × 2.5″ SAS hard drives can be installed or replaced without powering down the server
- Dual redundant power: Two hot-plug 1000 W power supplies ensure continuous operation even if one PSU fails
- HP iLO2 management: Integrated Lights-Out 2 provides remote server management, virtual KVM, and health monitoring from any browser
- Six PCIe expansion slots: Flexible I/O expansion for additional NICs, HBAs, RAID controllers, or other cards
Performance in Use
In a home lab or small business server room, the DL380 G5 is a cost-effective platform for running VMware ESXi, Proxmox, or Microsoft Hyper-V. With 8 cores at 3.16 GHz and 28 GB RAM, it can host 6–10 concurrent VMs running typical SMB workloads such as file servers, web services, DNS/DHCP, and application backends. The expandable memory slots accommodate additional RAM modules for more demanding environments.
IT professionals and students use the DL380 G5 as an ideal certification study platform for VMware VCP, Microsoft MCSA, and Red Hat RHCSA/RHCE courses. The server’s HP iLO2 interface simulates enterprise management workflows — remote console, power management, and health monitoring — in a real hardware environment that mirrors production data centres.
The high-core-count Xeon X5460 CPUs also suit legacy applications and databases that benefit from raw multi-threaded performance rather than modern single-thread speed, making this a practical re-use platform for older Oracle, SQL Server, or Exchange environments.
